There are Dangers that Await Your Children

This post focuses on the importance of being present in your children’s lives, and giving them the knowledge to recognize life’s dangers and the ability to avoid them.

There are forces at work to persuade your children to do things that promise a thrill or provide immediate pleasure, but have long-lasting, addictive and harmful results.

I don’t know how things are in your neighborhood and schools, but I read and hear from kids how easy it is to get illegal drugs.

More than likely, your children will be offered opioids like OxyContin, Percocet, fentanyl or heroin.

Other harmful and addictive drugs will become easily available to them like marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, bath salts, methamphetamine, and more.

Chances are good that someone will try to talk your children into trying alcohol, smoking, vaping, sexting, having sex, joining a gang, or committing a crime.

Your kids will find out how easy it is to access pornography, how quickly they can lose weight by purging, and how they can reduce anxiety by cutting.

Cyber bullying has become an issue with which all children on social media are familiar. And tragically, there is an epidemic of children contemplating suicide to escape emotional pain.

You can’t be there to protect them all the time.

Many parents do not know, do not believe, or will not admit that their children are exposed to so much harm. And even if they are aware, many do not know what to do.

This website will show you the skills and provide the knowledge you need to give your kids the best chance of living a life free from these kinds of problems. I hope you’re starting to realize how important it is for you to be an intentional, positive force in your children’s lives.

All children will come face to face with some form of seduction promising instant gratification that will result in long-term unhappiness. Peer pressure is causing many children and teens to make bad choices.

The need for capable, effective dads has never been greater.

You are going to learn how to teach your children to recognize those situations and avoid the traps. Your children will adopt values to guide their lives and learn how to defend their values. They will have greater self-control and more power to resist temptation – even in the face of peer pressure. They will understand the consequences of giving into temptation because they will have been taught by a dad with whom they have strong relationships.

This website will enable you to instill in your children the desire to do the right thing even when you’re not around, and that will give you peace of mind.
